Manufacturer's description
To meet fish that become memories. A high-performance rod that bends for fun.

The concept of "Encounter" is a casting rod for shore saltwater fishing, mainly targeting seabass, flatfish, and bluefish, allowing you to enjoy a wide variety of fish species. Equipped with Shimano's core technology, Spiral X, it is finished as a high-performance rod that exceeds the limits of this class. It is performance that even experienced anglers will be convinced by, and it is also recommended as the first rod for those new to lure fishing. Especially suitable for those who want to enjoy serious fishing with better tackle, even if just a little. Named based on the word "Encounter," meaning "meeting," this rod embodies the hope that anglers will enjoy many encounters with fish and various emotional experiences through fishing.

Shimano's proprietary technology that enhances the fundamental performance of the rod. Spiral X improves all aspects of casting, operation, and fighting.

Spiral X is a three-layer structure with carbon tape tightly wound diagonally in opposite directions on the inner and outer layers of the vertical fibers of the rod. This maintains lightness while achieving high torsional rigidity and crush resistance. Power transmission during all fishing actions, from casting to fighting fish, is improved, allowing the rod to perform at a high level and support comfortable fishing for anglers.

To prevent twisting and crushing that lead to power loss

By adopting "Spiral X," the rigidity against twisting and crushing of the rod is enhanced. Twisting is the force generated in the circumferential direction when the rod bends. Suppressing this twisting prevents power loss and reduces casting wobble and accuracy decline. In lure fishing, where repeated casting is common, this allows for more efficient power transfer with less force and makes repeated accurate casting easier. The "Encounter" feels characterized by a core-yet flexible feel. It bends well, making the release point easy to grasp, and it is designed for easy, powerful swings to the end.

Reel seat with a smooth grip without steps. Allows for a firm grip during fighting.

"Perfection Seat XT" is Shimano's proprietary reel seat. It has almost no steps and fits comfortably in the hand. It is easy to grip with light force and allows for strong grip when needed, improving comfort in all fishing movements. It is a reel seat that reduces fatigue during long fishing sessions and supports sustained high concentration.

Stainless frame K guide

The guides use a stainless steel frame that is resistant to rust and has excellent strength. Additionally, by adopting a K guide design that reduces trouble with PE lines, it is designed so that even beginners can enjoy the game comfortably.
